Of course you're getting frustrated when all you think about is nonsense.

There are more people dying from this virus than ever and you think we're doing fine and those measures aren't necessary? Just because the news has fatigued and isn't talking about it as dramatically anymore doesn't mean it's over. It's as bad as ever and the only reason why nothing has collapsed yet is

1. The measures you're so tired of are working!

2. The health sector has massively expanded capacity.

We're burying more people than ever, we just got more efficient at it. To say that we're doing fine is a fucking joke. It's winter now and it's going to get a lot worse, because a virus like that spreads like crazy in that season.

Yes, we're learning more and more about the virus. For example how even in asymptomatic or mild cases it can do lasting damage to the body. I'm not gonna stop social distancing and wearing a mask just because there is "only" a 0.1% chance for me to die or fuck up my body long term. I like living and I like being healthy, sorry if that is an inconvenience to you.

Well, then just stay home. Forever.

I will as long as it takes. Good thing I know the difference between a year and forever. I know math is hard, but try to look it up sometime.
